Letter: Tall order for awarding mugs

I’d like to give one “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” mug to every complacent voter who stayed home and let Clark County Commissioners David Madore and Tom Mielke take over.

In fact, everyone who undermined the new Interstate 5 Bridge to the 21st century, with light rail, deserves an extra-large DDSS mug.

All locals who continue to waste oil should have a DDSS mug filled with Bakken crude to toast each oil tanker car that passes through their neighborhood, like giant rolling Molotov cocktails.

By the way, whose stupid idea was it to create the Heritage Square eyesore in downtown Vancouver between Columbia and Washington streets? It looks like a place for public hangings. Let’s turn it into a well-kept food cart pavilion.

Each climate change denier who thinks our wasteful carbon-fueled economy has no impact on the web of life needs a mug, too. Each person, gun owner or not, who resists universal background checks and believes that the more people we arm the safer we are, needs a mug for sure.

Finally, to everyone texting/phoning while driving, you deserve two Don’t Do Stupid Stuff mugs each. Please don’t drink from them while driving.
